Letting my brain wander today while listening to the legendary Betty Davis. She was a musical icon in the soul, funk, RandB scene. This was made with sketching and then fingerprinting. So fun to experiment. #bettydavisfunk #paint #sketching #creativehappylife #illustrator #experimental #lovemyjob

I had a lot of fun reimagining a queen of pentacles tarot card. My take has a decisive sweet feel to it. She is tied to nature and abundance. Waking up my creative brain one doodle at a time. #tarot #queenofpentacles #drawingchallenge #womenwhodraw #pencilartwork #watercolor #kidlitillustrator

This is a PSA from your friend here with a broken foot. Celebrate anyway that you are able to move today, on feet, on wheels, on crutches, on your hands and knees. Just keep smiling and moving one foot in front of the other. This image is from one of my newest titles God Made Me Good.

Just sketching today an idea that started with just drawing a cell phone. Made me think of all those annoying times when all you want is quiet. I will keep working on this doodle to see where it goes. #lillasstyleplay2025 #cellphones #quiet #books #reading #sketching #lovemyjob #makeartthatsells

One of the hardest things for an illustrator is to capture an expression in very few lines. Today’s doodle prompt is five different noses. #lilasstyleplay2025 #faces #noses #drawingchallenges #womenwhodraw #makeartthatsells #creativehappylife @makeartthatsells
